Effectively Using Air Pruning Systems in Propagation & Nursery Production
September 14 @ 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm
Presented by Dr. Darby McGrath – Vineland Research & Innovation Centre
Air-pruning propagation trays and containers can help to develop high-quality tree root systems. With the variety of products available – with features ranging from simple drainage holes, holes or slits in walls to fully wall-less and bottomless containers
how do you decide which container to choose and then how do you manage plants in these types of containers? In this session, we will explore how to effectively use air pruning containers to create high quality root systems in woody perennials. Topics will include: moisture management in air pruning systems, what to look for when choosing a substrate, and discussion about the different features of container types on the market.
